Disable Use of AccTime?

[schplurg]

Hi all
Because Nogova seems to have this problem where a player can walk through any wall or building when the AccTime is set to 4X, I am having some major problems. A player can easily cheat by simply exiting a building this way, especially the buildings that I place myself.

So my fix would be to disable the AccTime feature, at least while inside these locations. I have tried this using repeating triggers that reset the AccTime to 1, but I can usually run through the wall anyways before the trigger can catch it.

Is there a way to disable AccTime so the player is stuck at 1X gamespeed? Or does anyone have a better trick to solve my problem? I'm an intermediate scripter, so I'm sure I haven't tried everything possible.

I have searched and read everything I could find, with no luck. Thanks for any help!

hmm, make a trigger that is activated by:    acctime > 1

and make it activate repeatedly

than in activation put: setacctime 1

I tried that but it can easily be "beat". I can still get it faster than "1x speed" long enough to get through the wall if I hit the + key a few times. It's like trying to make a guy invincible with the same trick...the trigger doesn't react fast enough for the CPU. Apparently anyways.

Thanks though, I appreciate the reply. Any other ideas?

It is easy! Make the first script and then copy in. (mark it and press ctrl+c) and past it (ctrl+v) MANY times. Just create 100-400. Then it is nearly inposible to break trough the "wall".

Hope this will help ya  ;D

While that would work.  You could of course just use a simple script like thus;

#start

SetAccTime 1
~0.001
goto "loop"

Exec it from the init somewhere and whenever you try and use the time acceleration it will be reset to 1.

Thanks all!
Icarus_UK: your idea worked, didn't try the other. I guess I did my looping script wrong when I tried this. Probably because I had the script wait until the speed was set higher than 1X, and THEN changing it back down, which would happen too late by then.

I changed your suggested code to this:

#start

SetAccTime 1
~0.001

goto "start"

Works perfect! It still says 2X up in the corner of the screen, but speed does not increase, not even for a split second. That "split second" makes all the difference in this situation.

Thank you all very much!

You changed my script so somthing exactly the same and it works?  Well Im glad you fixed it for me.  

[schplurg]

Look closer...yours did not work. The line:

Goto "Loop"

My little change:

goto "start"

made it work

Thanks again.

LoL, serves me right for trying to add variety into my scripts.

Oops, I knew there was a button like that somewhere on here! Now I see it.

Thanks again for the help, it works perfect in my mission!
